12+1 Songs You Need On Your iPod (Holiday Edition)

Even though it never snows where I live, I grew up in a place where the cold of winter seeps into your bones and December really does hold the darkest night of the year.

Welcome to Part III of 12 Songs You Need On Your iPod.

This list is something I’m calling the Goosebumps Edition. I don’t mean this in a scary, book/tv series from the nineties kind of way, but more so in a “these songs tell such heart wrenchingly beautiful stories they give me goosebumps even after I hear them a hundred times” kind of way. (more…)

Capitalism: A Love Story?

Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story is one of the most important films of the year (seriously).

If only he knew the definition of “capitalism”…

New Blog Design

Welcome to the new blog design! The Wordpress theme is called Press and was designed by the great folks at Obox.

I still have a few bugs to work out, but I’m hoping this makes the site a bit more aesthetically pleasing and my oft-long posts a bit easier for you to read…
